Jim Carrey has written a children’s book about a wave who starts thinking about his place in the universe and what will happen when he eventually crashes on the shore.

The book is called How Roland Rolls, and Carrey recently appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show to promote it. He excelled at doing so, as usual.

This video shows what happened when Jim Carrey appeared on Ellen. After talking a little about How Roland Rolls and the importance of telling stories to kids at bedtime, he launched into an impression of his father.

The story that Carrey tells, and apparently made up on the spot, has it all. I enjoyed it and I’m supposedly a grown adult!
